Overall I enjoyed the people I was around. However because of short staffing I would be called in at 10 pm to work a overnight shift. I would show up rain or shine if I got a call to come in but never did I get a raise or even the day off I would schedule off months in advance. However it was a pleasant experience and I learnt alot from it.

Pros: we were able to get any free drinks from cups(ex:slurpees, coffee)

Cons: had to work from 10pm-6am by yourself

It was a good place to work seeing some of the same people every day and meeting people from other places. The management also jumped in and helped do anything that had to be done to keep the customers coming and going

Late night shifts no work life balance, way low wages. Difference in wages of employees with same job discription. Hardest part of the job was the timings. Management was not that helpful. Was happy with co-workers.

Lots of opportunity to advance if you are willing to work. Raises are performance based and you are required to attend training courses in order to move up. Learned some great skills here, only down side is you have to be available for any shift and everyone has to work Christmas day.

Am sorry to say but this is not a good place to work...there was always favoritism, and even though you did your work and you thought it looked good you would always be put down and never a good thumbs up. Co-workers were always butting heads and never getting along, to busy bringing in personal life into work.

It is an excellent place to grow professionally if an individual is sufficiciently motivated and enlightened.

7-Eleven is a huge enterprise and presents several opportunities for self growth. My own example of having being able to generate two excellent papers on their business and operational philosophies justifies that.

However, the greatest feature is the opportunity to cut across a customer base that makes working there a particularly personal and an exhilarating experience. There are challenges, of course, and the biggest is to be able to handle much of the work in a fast-paced customer friendly environment.

Pros: free food/drinks, good regular customers, busy but not overwhelming.

Cons: double shifts, terrible manager

I really enjoyed working with 7-11 but the Manager at the 26th street location was TERRIBLE. She would let employees steal, call in last minute or wouldn't deal with employees who would ditch their shifts with no notice. This is the only location that has been robbed in Brandon, the manager lets her employees be left alone over night or be stuck working double shifts because she can't discipline employees properly.

i did 3 weeks of work experience for this company i learn lots how invortory was done checking in products restocking shelfs counting lotto smokes refilling coffe pots taking out the trash and cleaning floors the staff was really nice to me as well

I liked this job making sandwiches, but I could not work the midnight shift. Some days I would spend all day trying to sleep, and would have a hard time that night at work because of little or no sleep.

Basically, our job is more on customer interaction on a day to day basis.Greet customer according to the time of the day, serve them, give all your best and from them I'm really learning a lot. So far, as my past experience at Tim Hortons i had the best management team here at 7-11, very accommodating, a family indeed! My co-workers we're one team achieving one goal, without them all our vision and mission will not be carry out! I find cooking and lifting heavy things as the hardest part of my job but the most enjoyable part of the job is you can learn new things everyday.

help customers clean prep foods and stock. i learned the ins and outs of 711 and productive ways to deal with irate customers. my coworkers were great friendly and hard working. the hardest part was the grave yard shifts the most enjoyable was friday saterday nights when the bar crowd comes in all happy and ready to start the after party's.

i learned how to run retail stores,doing good customer service, doing cash reports, management is a little bit ok, i learned how to work to different kind of people, different values.enjoyable part is serving customer i had chance to meet different people, become friends and most of all management acknowledge me being a good team player.
